How do I protect myself in this situation, while also helping a relative? 

Steady Growth – Home to Ohio State University (the largest college in the U.S.) and major Fortune 500 companies like Cardinal Health, Nationwide Insurance, and L Brands, Columbus attracts a steady influx of students, professionals, and job seekers every year.Strong Rental Market – With a growing population and a high demand for housing, rental properties are in constant demand, making it a prime market for investors.Affordable Prices – Unlike other hot markets, Columbus still offers below-national-average home prices (around $275,000 median), giving investors a chance to buy in before prices climb even higher.

Depends on their health and any desire they may have to simplify.

Quote from @Carol Corbin: Hi , I’ve been looking like crazy for health care agencies to rent my home to?

For example we pay our own income taxes, broker splits and all of our other expenses directly out of what we make including required E&O insurance, MLS dues, licensing fees, Board of Realtor dues, continuing education costs, marketing, advertising, office fees/rent, transaction coordinator/ assistant fees, health insurance, car insurance and maintenance, gas, tires, software, retirement fund, etc.We are not W2 employees with payroll taxes already taken out of our paychecks, company-paid health insurance and matching retirement account plus a guarantee of at least 40 hours paid work per week, sick pay, paid vacation… none of that.So if you’re thinking you’ll be able to pay an hourly wage typical of a W2 hourly employee like $50-85/hr… that’s definitely not going to work.

I imagine it’s a relatively short drive from Southwestern Ontario, and it offers some unique opportunities that align well with what you’re looking for.Detroit has seen tremendous progress over the last decade, with significant investment and revitalization in many areas.

.: Hello Health!

Throughout the year I come across situations where people need to sell there home due to a variety or reasons, job loss, income loss, health, divorce, etc.

However, they approach financial health from different angles.The 50% Rule is a quick estimate that suggests operating expenses (excluding mortgage principal and interest) will roughly equal 50% of the property's gross income.The DSCR is a more precise calculation (Net Operating Income / Total Debt Service) that determines if a property generates enough income to cover its debt obligations.Deal example:- Class C middle class neighborhood- 4bd / 2ba single family house- ARV: 190k- Purchase: 105k- Rehab: 35k- Market rent: $1,400-1,525- Section 8: $1,475- Property manager: 10%- Taxes: 125 month- Insurance $1250 yr- HOA: $55 month- purchased and rehabbed with all cash.
